Can a specific language you learned be transferable when learning Rust?

Hi!, hope everyone’s ok. Sorry if this question is ambiguous (i’ll remove this if i break some rules here). This is more like a self-question in future (few years from now).

For instance, I have some familiarity with Elixir (concepts, ecosystem, <fill the blanks here>). Can things taught from Elixir be transferable, specifically Rust? if so, what paths or stuffs did you do in order to click, to the point you could answer like eli5 type of questions?

Knowledge between languages is almost always transferrable. Knowing C, C++, OCaaml, F# or Haskell would be the most ‘similar’ to rust, but rust has a lot of new concepts that transfer well to help you be a better programmer in all other languages, so rust definitely gives back more than it uses, lol.
